Sex and the Single Girl book is written years after its first proposed, the Equal Pay Act establishes equality of pay for men and women performing equal work. Recommendations for women in the workplace include paid maternity leave and affordable child care The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is established; first 5 years, 50,000 complaints of gender discrimination are received National Organization for Women to function as a civil rights organization for women.
